42. CKV1D
Politics often played a part in decision making at Municipal Bus Undertakings. Local politicians were instinctively inclined to favour local industries that provided jobs and prosperity for local people. It was no surprise, therefore, that Coventry Corporation (and later Coventry City Transport) was fiercely loyal to the locally built Daimler buses, throughout its existence. It famously created a local furore when, in 1964, its first rear-engined double deckers emerged as Leyland Atlanteans. It mattered not a jot that they were the PDR1/2 model, incorporating Daimler transmission parts under licence.

Here's a chance to see a rare vehicle. Although it is on Roger's site, and has been for some time, it is not part of his collection. It was last out for the Sandy Lane event in Coventry some years ago. Since then it has been at the very bottom end of his running shed and impossible to photograph. KWK23F, a Daimler CRG6LX with ECW H45/27D body which predates the VR ECW Body. It was new to Coventry City Transport in 1968 as number 23 and is one of first one man operated double-deckers and has several unusual features, such as longitudinal tram like seats.
